I don't have a clue who I would want as ou next manager.

I'm not sure if i even want an English/British one, because all of them that are available don't really differ from each other much.

We need a bit of something extra to get us out of where we are, but I think only and English/British manager would be up for the challenge.

Gary Johnson - 50/1 Would be the perfect choice and would win me some money .

As much as I like him, its hardly an impressive cv to be submitting to a top premier league & european competitor is it…

Cambridge – sacked
Kettering – sacked
Latvia – sacked
Yeovil
Bristol City

According to various posts on message boards its looking like the media and bookies expect Paul Jewell to be appointed.

Would be my choice.

Benitez was sacked in his first 3 managerial jobs. Not saying he's the best manager in the world but a Spanish League title, UEFA Cup and 2 champions leagues certainly says that being sacked is not the end of the world.

At the end of the day it's a learning curve - he's learned a lot from those early experiences and Bristol City are now reaping the rewards.

Would like to see him try!

Was only meant as a bit of a joke, but he's certainly made a promising start to his managerial career.

Many years ago I along with members of my familey and freinds had a big fallout with BWFC in the Ian Greaves Franky Worthy era over the way the club was behaving at that time. It was 2 seasons before we returned, some never did!
This brings me to my point, I feel so strongly that Paul Jewell is NOT the man for BWFC that I will not be attending any more games home or away if he is appointed, the man will make us a medioce bottom half table team with workers but no gifted players.Although this season is the first I have not had a season ticket for familey reasons I have still managed all but 3 games this year. I know I'm only one man but Jewel will accelerate the exodus from the 'Bok and many more will join me.

Perhaps we will play "boring" football but win a few more games eh?

Face facts we are Bolton. On average being a bottom half of the prem team is THE BEST we can hope for unless some idiot comes along and ploughs hundreds of millions into the club.

There are countless clubs bigger with more support and heavier financial backers than we have.

I'm happy with premiership football.

Anyone who refuses to go because Jewell or any other manager is appointed we are better off without!

Its time to stick by the club, not hammer them.

Time, perhaps, for a Paul Jewell Not In! Thread?

Gary Johnson. Has experience of mangement, has succeeded everywhere he has been, and will be hungrier than Jewell. He will also have a good knowledge of talent from the lower leagues.

Why because a knob like you decides that? Get a life and open your eyes pal we have been a very succesful club not as you seem to imply "little Bolton in the prem we should all be grateful". So why can we not expect to be a top 10 club pushing for top 6 without being "Multimillionares"? If thats the "BEST" you hope or expect go support Bury or Rochdale at least you will have guarenteed mediocrity week in week out>

Are you that thick?

Why do Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea do better than everyone else? Because they are big clubs with big backers.

We are a small club, certainly when compared to the premiership.

Sub 30K crowds, fairly fickle fan base, surronded by Liverpool and Manchester clubs. I don't want to settle for being also rans, but i'd rather be also rans in the premiership than the championship. There is NO WAY any manager in the world could get us into the top 4 without a massive sustained investment from somewhere.

We could be in the position of Leeds, Southampton, Coventry, Wolves, Leicester etc...all bigger clubs than ourselves.

Some fans have been blinded by 5 or 6 years of success. Over the last 25 years we haven't exactly shone as a club have we?

Its not about aspiring to less, its about realism. Big names don't want to manage us. FACT.

Jewell might keep us afloat in the premiership. Or would you rather we went down?

might teach somebody some lessons , i suspect though , theyd just move on and earn more money somewheres else ..

a couple of career ending injuries and a bankrupting or two would prevent that though..

only hope we have now is if jose mourinho comes in on a white horse to save us all..

imagine how hated we'd be if that happened

Aye I must be, when I went to school a Six looked like this 6 & a Four looked like this 4.
Funny how Jewell has gone from "Man to keep us in the Prem" to "Man who might keep us in the prem"! He is a smug git Jewell with a bigger ego than the AntiChrist!

Good ones naww don't deserve um only greats are entitled to an ego

The whole thing is just a complete shambles.

Whoever we appoint will want to bring his own people in in January, which means by the time they gel it'll be Febuary and we'll be fecked anyway.

I really hope Gartside has an ace stored away somewhere, because i don't want any of the knobbers listed in this thread.

PG, an ace stored somewhere

Well I am inclined towards Jewell, but he's not exactly ideal. Roy Hodgson maybe? At least he's done stuff. (Cue comments on the 'stuff' he's done wrong )

On the basis of what? And yet you backed Laughable Lee to the hilt despite results proving he couldn't cut it. Making Bolton a mediocre bottom half team would be improvement on the currebt state of play.

Because I really thought Lee would come good ok. That has been backed up by Anelka and Davo too. Why you or anyone else think the list of failures mentioned on here will do anything with our Club beggers belief! Now Lee has gone Eddie Davis must do one of two things either shell dosh out for a good manager and support him to get us back up the top or sell out to someone who will. To sum up it's shell or sell IMO, not burden us with non entities like Jewell.
